    New Penguin

    Decided to make an improved version of Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot in a bit more Bronze Age style. A Mego Penguin head and a standard fat body with Star Trek legs.pengy1.jpgpengy2.jpgpengy3.jpg

    Very nice--the blue gives a Filmation/Super Powers vibe!

    I always like the Penguin to have a yellow vest, like in the Golden Age and different from Joker.

      Nice! Even though it's blue, not yellow, the colored top hat makes me think of the classic and very rare soft-head Pez dispenser.

          I really like this version the colors blend in nicely, and nice touch attaching Trek legs to the fat body.

              Going back and reading my post, I realize it almost sounds like I'm somehow dissing the Mego versions of Oswald. I meant improved over my own custom version made about 40 years ago.

                  Love him! The blue in place of the black top hat and jacket really gives him a comic book charm !

                    Gives it that 80's Super Power look, good job.

                      I like the look of the figure. I am impressed with the idea to change the legs. I am always apprehensive about re-stringing figures. I have tried a couple and they always turn out looser than when I started. Anyway, nice figure and nice interpretation.
